Unjustly so, as Portugal is a paradise for road cyclists and gravel riders alike! We previously wrote about the beautiful coastline of the <a href=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/en\/stories\/autumn-sun-search-in-portugal\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"2024\">Algarve<\/a>, where we also talked about the vineyards of the Douro Valley. And don't forget the challenging climbs of the Serra da Estrela. In short: Portugal offers an unforgettable cycling experience. If you are still hesitating about a trip to this southern European gem: here are 15 tips for cycling in this beautiful country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"17116\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/PortugalFietsen_197178154-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17116\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/PortugalFietsen_197178154-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/PortugalFietsen_197178154-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/PortugalFietsen_197178154-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/PortugalFietsen_197178154-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/PortugalFietsen_197178154.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ria Formosa, Algarve - Portugal<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. <strong>Choose the Right Season<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>With the current climate change, choosing the right season is one of the most important tips. The best times to go cycling in Portugal are spring (March to June) and autumn (September to November). These periods offer mild temperatures, fewer tourists, and you have the natural beauty of landscapes in full bloom or the warm hues of autumn. The Algarve is also still recommended in winter, although you should expect chilly mornings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Helmet on! Check local rules<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Portugal has specific rules for cyclists, such as the mandatory use of helmets on rural roads and on routes between towns. Anyway, it is good to '<a href=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/en\/stories\/five-cycling-rules-you-really-need-to-remember\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"11966\">'crazy' rules<\/a> in other countries for a while, but this one is really important. As experienced cyclists, we will recommend wearing a helmet anyway, but that goes without saying. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. <strong>Embrace the Climbs<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Portugal may not be so well known for its mountainous region. We mostly see the beaches in the many guidebooks. However, be prepared for challenging climbs, especially in the north and central part of the country. Pedro Couto Lopes wrote about it before in his <a href=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/en\/stories\/n2-exploring-portugal\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"8348\">N2 test<\/a>.  So you will have to take the good legs with you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"17118\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/PortugalFietsen_432266673-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17118\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/PortugalFietsen_432266673-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/PortugalFietsen_432266673-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/PortugalFietsen_432266673-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/PortugalFietsen_432266673-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/PortugalFietsen_432266673.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Two male cyclists on a dust road by Ria Formosa Natural Park in Algarve, Portugal<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. <strong>Stay Hydrated and Protected<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the low season does not bring those high temperatures, the Portuguese sun can be intense, even outside the summer. Because Portugal is also relatively sparsely populated, you should always have plenty of water with you. Also because of its location closer to the equator, SMORING is very important. Also check our <a href=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/en\/stories\/6-tips-for-cycling-on-a-hot-day\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"12520\">tips for cycling on a hot day<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. <strong>Pack <\/strong>enough essentials in<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Our <a href=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/en\/tips\/basic-packing-list-for-your-cycling-holiday\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"2143\">basic packing list for a cycling holiday<\/a> is a good guide to what to bring. But precisely because Portugal is less densely populated and you can end up in the 'middle of nowhere' on a longer adventure, bringing the 'essentials' is really important. Always have at least two inner tubes and matching pump\/co2 cartridges. Always take into account that the weather can change. Plus: bring your camera, for the pretty pictures!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. <strong>Use GPS and Physical Maps<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>We are definitely not into physical maps. Komoot and Wahoo are our friends.  Still, you will have to deal with bad signals in Portugal. Especially if you navigate on your phone. Digital navigation is the default but having a physical map as a backup can be a lifesaver in remote areas where the signal can be weak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. <strong>Learn Important Portuguese Phrases<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Although many young people now speak English well, learning a few local phrases is not a luxury. We think you should always learn a few phrases or words anyway. After all, how nice is it when a tourist in the Netherlands or Belgium does his best with a 'good morning' or 'thank you'. So 'obregado' is a good start. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Packing climbing legs<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If you're going for a multi-day adventure, it's best to use Komoot's premium option. This will present you with stages that make sense. Certainly not a luxury in Portugal, as the terrain varies considerably from region to region. Research and plan your routes according to your fitness level and cycling preferences. So also take into account that many routes may include some unpaved sections. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. <strong>Explore Lesser Known Routes<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>While popular routes like the Algarve coast are breathtaking, we don't want to deprive you of the Rota Vicentina either. There is a non-profit organisation behind it, which has created an entire hiking network, but recently also offered a gravel variant! For more information on this network of trails, 'off the beaten track', visit the site of <a href=\"https:\/\/rotavicentina.com\/en\/cycling\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/rotavicentina.com\/en\/cycling\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Rota Vicentina<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. <strong>Enjoy Local Cuisine<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Portugal's culinary delights are not to be missed. Of course, a Pastel de Nata is the go to snack with a delicious coffee. But the 'bacalhau' is also one not to be missed. But how about a real 'Arroz de Pato' or grilled sardines? After all, you are in a country with a vast expanse of coastline, where fishermen do their best to get the tastiest swimmers on your plate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">11. <strong>Staying in Bicycle-friendly Accommodations<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>All over Europe, you can find hotels, flats, campsites and other accommodation suitable for cyclists. There are a number of labels around, including Biroto in Portugal. (The site is down for a while). Also via <a href=\"https:\/\/pedalportugal.com\/routes-resources\/listings\/accommodation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pedal Portugal<\/a> you will find a lot of information. You can also find accommodation in Portugal through Cycling-Friendly. If you really want luxury, you can also check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/pt\/martinhal-resort.en.html?aid=7991510&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=2&amp;room1=A%2CA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Martinhal Family Resort<\/a> in Sagres (Algarve) is something for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">12. <strong>Respect the Environment<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a no-brainer. Portugal is still largely unspoilt, although the southern coast is already a bit littered with buildings. But just keep this as it is. You are cycling for yourself and not riding in a peloton where stuff gets picked up. Put papers in your back pocket, throw it in the bin and don't leave tyres\/co2 cartridges behind after use. Also ride on designated trails or if allowed enjoy the countryside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">13. <strong>Join Local Cycling Groups<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>For a shared experience, consider joining local cycling groups or events. Consider <a href=\"https:\/\/portcycling.pt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Port Cycling <\/a>for example. It's a great way to meet fellow cyclists and learn more about hidden gems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">14. <strong>Prepare for Emergencies<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This is an EMERGENCY! No joke, but having a basic first aid kit with you cannot be an unnecessary luxury. As mentioned earlier, Portugal is sparsely populated and it is not the Netherlands or Belgium. So carry a first aid kit with you and familiarize yourself with the emergency numbers in Portugal. Make sure your phone is charged and otherwise take a <a href=\"https:\/\/partner.bol.com\/click\/click?p=2&amp;t=url&amp;s=1367492&amp;f=TXL&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bol.com%2Fnl%2Fnl%2Fs%2Fpowerbank%2F&amp;name=bol.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">power bank with you<\/a> For long journeys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">15. <strong>Embrace Portuguese culture<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, immerse yourself in the culture. Visit historical sites, engage with locals and enjoy the relaxed Portuguese lifestyle that makes cycling so special here.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Waar Spanje, Frankrijk en Itali\u00eb vaak de meeste aandacht krijgen, is Portugal, met zijn diverse landschappen, rijke culturele erfgoed en gunstige klimaat, het ondergeschoven kindje.
